Hello Hisplers, please I will like to hear from you... Do you think the CIA and British govt had a hand in Murtala Muhammed's assassination as Nigerians claimed based on his foreign policy direction or it's the other 3 mistakes? Leave a comment pls. Thank you.
The CIA and the perfidious British were behind the murder of our beloved Murtala Muhammad! I'll explain why! The great Murtala Muhammad and the great King Faisal of Saudi Arabia were going to collaborate with each other on certain projects! if these two potential economic and military titans (Nigeria in Africa & Saudi Arabia in the Middle East!) had succeeded....Africa and the Middle East today in 2022 would be totally different! The West were still smarting over the bloody nose King Faisal gave them when he unleashed his economic sanctions on them in 1973! King Faisal was killed by demented MK Ultra controlled nephew. Africa and The Middle East have never been the same since!
Your content is very good. However, some of your pronunciations are questionable. ''Culprit'' is not pronounced ''koolprit'' Fatal/FARTAL and several more.
We can see clearly why the crooked military cabal murdered him... But Murtala had no clue how to manage his own armed forces! OBJ, IBB and Danjuma are 3 of the most dangerous Officers still living today!!! Yes, the British and the CIA played a big role in his assassination...
The best leader Nigeria has ever had, but unfortunately Murtala Mohammed had very dark past in his record, he committed genocide against the Asaba people during the Nigerian civil war, he was also accused of killing the whole members of a church congregation even after they had surrendered to the Nigerian forces, sometimes we are hunted by our past actions, Karma is real. The evil that men do lives after them, excellent story thanks.
Yes, he was the best leader that ever rules Nigeria. If he had lived to conclude the transition to civilian our fortune would have been different. The best man would have won the 1979 election. We would have been saved from this harrowing experience that we are experiencing today. To our shame he only served for six months with lots of achievements to his name.
@@nathanieladeoba7213 some of you are so shallow and gullible. If iBB died before 1992 you would say he also planned to hand over. Lmao. A reckless army officer that went to war with 20,000 men and came back with 2,000 made a 4 star general and the “best leader you ever had”...Easy to see why the north East is a problem that will never go away if such a caliber of callous uncalculative leadership is what is your standard.
Boy! This video left me very sad. I was in High School when General Murtala Muhammed was assassinated, and I still remember very vividly where I was, and what I was doing. This man gave me a sense of identity as a Nigerian, and he encouraged me to aspire to greater heights as a human being. I will always hold him dear to my heart, as both a fearless leader and a bold human being. I've since modelled my life after his; I speak the truth always, no matter the cost, and I strive to wipe away corruption in our society. One day I hope to ascend to the presidency of Nigeria and continue with the posture of General Murtala Muhammed. The country needs a fearless leader such as Murtala, in order to banish the blight of corruption in national government. We first need to re-organize the police force and institute a salary restructuring, including paying police officers twice a month, so that they always have money in their pockets. That will go a long way to reducing the tendency to seek extra money from their constituents, who know such activities are wrong. Once you clean up the police, go after politicians who earn far too much money for the average Nigerian to understand. Nigeria is destined for greatness, but the work is really enormous. Know this. It can be done. Nigerians are yearning for the right man to come along. I am that man.
Hello Mr. Douglas, God Almighty will surely help you to actualize your vision for Nigeria 🇳🇬. I am impressed with your truthfulness and bold vision for the country. Truly, Nigeria needs a leader that is bold and ready to step on toes if that is necessary to make the necessary change. We can't continue like this and we can't continue to sit idly waiting for God to come down and do it for us. Murtala was carefree about his personal security. As bold and courageous as he was, he supposed to know that several people would surely not be confortable with him... May God help you actualize your lofty aspiration for Nigeria...amen. Thank you very much for watching ❤️ and leaving a feedback. I appreciate you.
Dey fool yourself.....All these leaders appear a certain way during the day and do another thing behind closed doors. Nigeria can never be destined for greatness because it was designed by man not God. Also the different tribes we have and greedy nature of all these tribes and MOST of the elite and masses are corrupt.
I truly appreciate your contributions designed to enrich our history as a people. Late General Murtala Mohammed was indeed a rare, enigmatic, objective, altruistic and highly charismatic leader but his perspectives on national issues were unpopular with the subjective and prebendal lieutenants around him which culminated in his assassination. Nigeria today is in the hands of grossly incompetent leaders clearly devoid of capacity. May God save Nigeria!
Thank you Barr. for your kind words. Murtala Muhammed had a history of stubbornness and disrespect to constituted authorities. He featured prominently in the Asaba Massacre. With all these dents, Murtala never bordered about personal security probably because he felt he was popular among the civilian population. It's unfortunate though that it ended badly for him. Nigeria is in a terrible state partly because the people have not been able to perform their role...this can equally be attributed to the disfunctional education system we have. Thank you very much for watching ❤️
@@HispleMedia Very correct about the Asaba massacre. It was also as a result of his stubbornness that Abagana ambush by the Biafran army was successful.
@@ugocity1 ugonna A. You're so correct with the Abagana aspect of the war. Only a very 😍 stubborn and proud individual would have undertaken such a suicidal step in Abagana.
From my father's account of this event, a junior officer who was in charge of signals when they plotted the coup. My father was lucky he wasn't part of the coup that lead to the killing of Muritala. He was suppose to be on night duty that day, but took permission to attend a church program that he preached that day. So he was absent that day.that same evening, they came to Ikeja cantonment, took soldiers that were on duty that night, and these soldiers executed the coup. My late dad was lucky not to be part of the coup.
God bless you for sharing such knowledge because those coup plotters were always getting soldiers who had no idea what was going on until the last minute when they dared to refuse orders or die with their families and friends as additional targets if they refused compliance.
So many wrongly pronounced words. I almost had a fit listening. 1.Motor cade he pronounced as motor card 2. Defiant he pronounced as deafeant 3. Unleashed he pronounced as unleshed 4. Next he pronounced as nest and so many others. A little dictionary look up will go a long way. Apart from that I think he tried in bringing history to the younger generation.
I personally don't feel any pity for Muritala Mohammed because he too was complicit in the shedding of innocent blood. According to confirmed History of him masterminds the killing of civilians at Asaba during the Nigerian Civil War comes to mind.

Kudos to you for this very informative video. Well-done brother.👍
Innocent?? How dare you speak of innocence when your people killed Premier of the Northern and South Western Regions out of hatred ?? You play stupid games, You win stupid prizes
D reason for the massacered was because asaba people were d ones showing NA hideouts to Biafrans troops while the Biafrans were silently killing d troops of the NA, they later upseted and took d revenge of massacred as Rtrd major ajayi cited
Same here man I feel no pity for him, killed thousands of ibo soldiers who knew nothing and had no hand in the Jan 15th 66 coup, killed unarmed civilians in Asaba, a coup is meant to take out the leaders and install new ones but what murtala Muhammad staged was a massacre and a genocide killing both ironsi and fajuyi alongside thousands of innocent ibo soldiers and even allegedly a church congregation even after surrendering.. evil will always find its way back to the perpetrator and somehow the northerners will still play victim after their countless atrocities and wickedness!

No wonder Gowon is the longest serving leader in history. He had a lot going for him...I think Murtala confused popularity among civilians with acceptance by his own fellow Men with arms. Besides, there was a lot said about him in connection with the civil war and the 1966 coup. Well done bro, you are doing me proud.
I don't think he took his security details lightly due to his popularity. He did so due to his selflessness according to his response to his deputy. He served Nigeria for 6 months and he made a turnaround that have never been recorded before and after his service to Nigeria. He truly served. Unlike those, whom we serve.
He was too rash in making certain decisions. He should have been a little bit more political. He also killed alot of innocent people in Delta during the War which created a dent in his Legacy.
He played a major role in the 1966 counter-coup that killed Ironsi. He believed in justice and fairness which Ironi failed to play against the 1966 coup plotters.
@@hakeemojulari7392 that's correct 👌 Ironsi failed to prosecute those who mainly igbo officers who did the 1st coup against civilian government and 1st of its kind in Nigeria 🇳🇬
It was a coup led by kaduna nzeogwu... Many have said that he was shot by Emmanuel ifeajuna along with Festus okoti eboh. I have a video about it on this channel. Check it here 👉 ua-cam.com/video/FV0j_xLEw2U/v-deo.html
With his atrocities and massacre of my brothers, uncles, father's etc ,he and his collaborator 'Col Ibrahim Taiwo was killed same.its not a coincidence but the hand of Asaba God was on revenge. He should be addressed as a murderer with his lieutenants of Asaba massacre...
Karma66; Murtala Mohammed and T.Y. Danjuma Kidnapped and massively tortured and murdered Aguiyi Ironsi and Fajuyi on July 29, 1966 Revenge-Coup Dammisa II - and proceeded to embark on a murderous orgy of over 30 Officers of Eastern Nigerian Origin in one Night (Igbo, Efik, Ibibio, Ijaw, Ogoja, Kalabari, etc,) before continuing on a genocidal flat-out ethnic cleansing of any and all Easterners (Igbos and others)- for the January 15, 1966 Coup that involved Officers and men of all tribal groups in Nigeria. - Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna, Victor Banjo, Adewale Ademoyega, Olufemi Olutoye, Dimka, several Hausa- Fulani Officers and men, etc.. Nigeria's Highway to Hell began that day. The government has done its best to tell lies and manufacture history and now History is now no longer taught in schools leaving the young and old ignorant to the point of self and National destruction. They Blood of the Dead is now descending on all in the coming implosion and there would be No Place to Hide or Run to, along with the rest of West and Central Africa. Thieves, Deceitful, Incompetent Sociopathic and Psychopathic, Tribalistic, callously- wicked and visionless leadership led us here and we continue to recycle the same snakes and scorpions. No Christian, Islamic Vigils or Juju Sacrifices or charms will help us in a Nigeria that is now full of Failed Leadership, Bandits, Boko Haram, ISIS, FulaniTerrorist, Freedom-Seeking Ethnic groups in the Middle-Belt and Southern Nigeria, Abusive and Incompetent Police, DSS, Military, VIO, Road Safety, Civil Defense, Customs, Immigration, Federal, State and Local Bureaucracies, dysfunction and unreliable institutions which gives No Nigerian a sense of Belonging or Nationhood to hang your hat on. Like the Yoruba say: Opari fun wa ( It is finished for us). or if you prefer Igbo: Oku Nigeria a yun go ( Lights Out Nigeria)
He was very incompetent in the Biafran war and had so many failures there. How he wasn't retired after the war is beyond me. Gowon was an incompetent leader.
Karma catches him in the street. You killed Ironsi your boss also killed millions of igbos during civil war. I know he meant well but 1 thing CIA doesn’t like is when a criminal like murtala is trying to play innocence infront of the world. He died after the last UN speeches
One key thing is missing. Gen. Murtala's speech 'Africa has come of age' The last statement is unacceptable. That he came through the hell of bullet. The coup that brought is the Nigeria's first bloodless coup.
I said into the Nigeria political scene, not into the presidency. He came into political prominence through his role in the 1966 counter coup...he wanted to wrestle the head of state position from gowon despite the fact that gowon was his senior in the army...thank you for watching ❤️😍❤️💙
@@HispleMedia Agreed that he came back into political scene through the July coup but that he want to wrestle power is also wrong. He was even reluctant in giving a nod to Joe's coup. Read The Hurricane.
@@Jarumi-sg9il if you read the roller-coaster life of murtala muhammed, you will find some of these details as well. However, I will check this suggestion. Thank you very much.
That is probably why Nigeria has gotten used to selfish and underperforming leaders in all strata! I appreciate your feedback, thank you very much for watching.
A nation of astonishingly high level of curruption. And so this was how they set the scene for the most currupt country in Africa to day, known as Nigeria.
It's really unfortunate that corruption is not even ready to stop anytime soon The system is designed to respect corrupt people and honor them. It favours them even during elections. We came close to renouncing the corrupt elites in the last election but they still overcame us and forced themselves on us. All hope is not lost yet. Thank you very much for watching ♥️
no, Dimka in his confessions gave details of the coup and how well it was planned and everything checked out. Many people faced the panels but were released because of lack of evidence
Just the way he masterminded the assassination of The General Aguiyi ironsi after 6 months In office, he got the fair share of karma by his own fellow northerner.. What goes around comes around especially in the case of killing a man like Ironsi who was faultless
In another account, apart from his genocidal allegations in Asaba, he also had poor military tactical command technique which led to the killing of more than 10000 Nigerian military soldiers under his command during the civil war. This would not hv sat down well amongst his military officers.
That is true! In fact, it appears that the number of soldiers lose were even more than 10k. He tried to cross the Niger river against his superior's advise. Thank you for watching
Mr Murderoustala Ramrod Muhammad's reputation merely, entirely hinged on vendata, coup plotting and execution and not on the warfront. The ragtag Biafran Army's greatest triumph in the oil war of genocide was against his troops at Abagana during which he escaped by the skin of his teeth, allegedly being rescued by a helicopter as almost the entirety of his fighters was wiped out. 'nuff said.
This is true. Were they even 10 thousand?? Murtala wasted over a hundred thousand soldiers during the civil war. It was so disappointing. He trained in England as a military officer but Just as u have said, he had a poor military and tactical background.
@@iyanuajayi8797 - Training and Education mans nothing if one cannot apply it wisely. Muritala Mohammed was just pure evil and irrational. The problem with leaders like him. Even when they make a mistake they are too proud to reverse what they can.
Murtala had so many innocent bloods in his hands despite his good economic policies. He was involved in some coup detat and war crimes (during the civil war). He wanted to be a Saint overnight. He felt he was invincible due to his popularity in the army.
@@youssefcamara3916 muritala is the worst man!... if you know the things he did.. He plotted mass killing of igbos in 5 battalion . This was successful in 3 battalions.
@@usmanelebute.a5866 l grew up around igbos and Benin people in Conakry, Guinea. As much l feel your pain, there were lot tragedies in that awful and sad conflict. Whatever he did during that war, he's facing her makers now. The igbos leaders also have their own responsibility before history in that conflict. It really pain me to see African killing other African. C'est pas du tout normal, surtout en Afrique de l'ouest.
@@youssefcamara3916 I am not igbo. I specifically meant IGBO SOLDIERS in the military. They called it mutiny. This was when ironsi was in power. Ironsi was a leader that truly believed in Nigeria unity and muritala was one of the personels he trusted the most. They planned to access the Armory in each batallions distributed it to northern SOLDIERS then layed an ambush on Igbo soldiers. This was in the coup that eliminated IRONSI
@@usmanelebute.a5866 l went to queen’s university in Melbourne, Australia, with bunch of Nigerian. As the only francophone among them, they adopted me and we used to go to Canberra for Nigeria independence holiday party every October. Barbecue, fufu, jolof rice, name it. Even then and in far away Australia, you could see the scar’s of that civil war. I pray on my knees for the people of Nigeria to never ever again solve their problems with violent means.
Yes, Security was the greatest mistake on the day... However, there were other mistakes that sum up to that point as highlighted in the video. Thank you for for watching ❤️
@@HispleMedia There are plenty rulers now that have made thousands more than Murtala Muhammad but they cannot be assassinated. Why? Because they have heavy security as back up. We're talking of the mistakes that lead to his assassination which lack of security was the biggest of all.
Yeah, that is why he endeared himself to Nigerians...nigerian military was brutish and wicked to themselves and to this country. I appreciate your feedback, Thank you for watching
Buka Suka Dimka was Yakubu Gowon's brother-in-law, something that is often overlooked. I remember that morning, Friday February 13th, 1976. Parents who had dropped their kids off at schools, suddenly started showing up to collect their children. I remember one parent telling my class teacher that there had been a coup. My father showed up and bundled all of us into the car, and gave a James Bond-like driving display to get us home as swiftly as possible from Ebutte Metta to Igbobi. I also remember the day that Dimka was executed at Bar Beach. We were trying to get to the beach , so that my grandmother, who had never seen the Sean in her life, could have that experience; the traffic entering Victoria Island from the Marina, was impossible. I deduced the reason and told my Dad what I thought was happening (a nine-year-old me....), and that evening, it was confirmed. We could not watch the spectacle when it was broadcast later that night, because the big problem of low voltage was affecting NEPA horribly (at least, there was electricity) - this was the era of black-and-white TVs, and the picture used to roll terribly when voltage fluctuated. That evening, not even the V-Hold knob was any use in stabilising the picture.
Interesting narrative... I could hv been so afraid to even thought of watching such a horror scene. Thank you for letting us live through your experience. May God help Nigeria. Thanks for watching.
@@HispleMedia You may not be aware, but this was at a time when public executions were the norm. A few years earlier, there had been the execution of Dr. Oyenusi and his gang (I do not think that was televised, but I remember that the newspapers had the photographs of all the condemned criminals). Still in the 70's there was the execution of the gang that robbed a company called Bolous (if I remember correctly) of ₦50,000. That execution was also public. In the late 80s in Benin City, I remember the execution of Lawrence Anini and his gang, also being a public spectacle.
@@cielocaribe you are right! I remember there was public execution in my local government of some armed robbers too in the late 80s or early 90s or so... When told as a child that those people were condemned to death by lawyers, I grew up to hate the legal profession till when I was in the university. I appreciate your feedback. Thank you
Many of them have been around since independence or specifically since the coup and Counter-coup of 1966. They see Nigeria as their private business. It's quite unfortunate. Thank you for watching ❤️. I appreciate your feedback.
In the midst of all this, let's not forget that Murtala was a war criminal who among other things conducted the infamous Asaba Massacre. He's just one architect of the hideous northern hegemony.
This is bullshit to me murtala Muhammad was part of the civil war he took many igbo lives whoever have pity for him is on there own I like him as head of state but I hate him for his engagement in the wat
Many people hled this view... That is why at the end of the video I said he exited the polity the same way he entered. Through bullet. Thanks so much for watching.
Taar. He was a war criminal that committed war crimes. He masterminded the bloodiest coup in Africa to till date. I have zero sympathy for his death. Let him rot wherever he is. He wants to claim saint overnight with his hopeless policies.

Besides, there was a lot said about him in connection with the civil war and the 1966 coup. Well done bro, you are doing me proud.
I don't think he took his security details lightly due to his popularity. He did so due to his selflessness according to his response to his deputy.
He served Nigeria for 6 months and he made a turnaround that have never been recorded before and after his service to Nigeria.
He truly served.
Unlike those, whom we serve.
The civil war contributed to Gowon's long ruling time
He was too rash in making certain decisions. He should have been a little bit more political. He also killed alot of innocent people in Delta during the War which created a dent in his Legacy.
He played a major role in the 1966 counter-coup that killed Ironsi. He believed in justice and fairness which Ironi failed to play against the 1966 coup plotters.
@@hakeemojulari7392 that's correct 👌 Ironsi failed to prosecute those who mainly igbo officers who did the 1st coup against civilian government and 1st of its kind in Nigeria 🇳🇬

Why Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa was killed? Why Sir Ahmadu Bello was killed ?
It was a coup led by kaduna nzeogwu... Many have said that he was shot by Emmanuel ifeajuna along with Festus okoti eboh. I have a video about it on this channel. Check it here 👉 ua-cam.com/video/FV0j_xLEw2U/v-deo.html
Hmmmmmm the lord our god is in control of all our country🇳🇬 affiars .May Gen. Murtalas soul rest in peace.🙏
He's evil deed in the past asaba massacre, 1966 killing of igbos lived with him and after him, he has no replacement, karma is real
The Asaba massacre was really unfortunate though
Murtalas life is more worthy than the whole Asaba ppl dead or alive.

With his atrocities and massacre of my brothers, uncles, father's etc ,he and his collaborator 'Col Ibrahim Taiwo was killed same.its not a coincidence but the hand of Asaba God was on revenge. He should be addressed as a murderer with his lieutenants of Asaba massacre...
He kills with sword shall die by the sword
He wasted so many lives in abagana during the civil war
Wat a wicked man

Karma66;
Murtala Mohammed and T.Y. Danjuma Kidnapped and massively tortured and murdered Aguiyi Ironsi and Fajuyi on July 29, 1966 Revenge-Coup Dammisa II - and proceeded to embark on a murderous orgy of over 30 Officers of Eastern Nigerian Origin in one Night (Igbo, Efik, Ibibio, Ijaw, Ogoja, Kalabari, etc,) before continuing on a genocidal flat-out ethnic cleansing of any and all Easterners (Igbos and others)- for the January 15, 1966 Coup that involved Officers and men of all tribal groups in Nigeria. - Nzeogwu, Ifeajuna, Victor Banjo, Adewale Ademoyega, Olufemi Olutoye, Dimka, several Hausa- Fulani Officers and men, etc.. Nigeria's Highway to Hell began that day. The government has done its best to tell lies and manufacture history and now History is now no longer taught in schools leaving the young and old ignorant to the point of self and National destruction. They Blood of the Dead is now descending on all in the coming implosion and there would be No Place to Hide or Run to, along with the rest of West and Central Africa. Thieves, Deceitful, Incompetent Sociopathic and Psychopathic, Tribalistic, callously- wicked and visionless leadership led us here and we continue to recycle the same snakes and scorpions. No Christian, Islamic Vigils or Juju Sacrifices or charms will help us in a Nigeria that is now full of Failed Leadership, Bandits, Boko Haram, ISIS, FulaniTerrorist, Freedom-Seeking Ethnic groups in the Middle-Belt and Southern Nigeria, Abusive and Incompetent Police, DSS, Military, VIO, Road Safety, Civil Defense, Customs, Immigration, Federal, State and Local Bureaucracies, dysfunction and unreliable institutions which gives No Nigerian a sense of Belonging or Nationhood to hang your hat on. Like the Yoruba say: Opari fun wa ( It is finished for us). or if you prefer Igbo: Oku Nigeria a yun go ( Lights Out Nigeria)
Great one
Who can say This Is Nigeria in 70s? No Much Power ( Electricity ) Failure , They Just Need Good Mindsets
Latest Samuel ikpa and Nigeria
He was very incompetent in the Biafran war and had so many failures there. How he wasn't retired after the war is beyond me. Gowon was an incompetent leader.
Gowon was scared of mohammed
He who killed by the sword will die by the sword
May Almighty Allah be pleased with his soul and rewards him with jannat firdaos
Amen!
Video Samuel ikpa
Buka Suka Dimka for ever
Karma catches him in the street. You killed Ironsi your boss also killed millions of igbos during civil war. I know he meant well but 1 thing CIA doesn’t like is when a criminal like murtala is trying to play innocence infront of the world. He died after the last UN speeches
Uche.....U love the CIA? You think they are good people? Guiltless people?
Well, it was not supposed to be their duty... It was a self inflicted difficult Era for the military.
U ibos also killed innocent Nigerians too
@@abokiofentertainment7414 you be mugu . I’m sure you didn’t read my comment well and brought out your useless-s emotions to my comment.
As if Ironsi's dogs didnt kill the Prime Minister and other Regional Premiers
One key thing is missing. Gen. Murtala's speech 'Africa has come of age'
The last statement is unacceptable. That he came through the hell of bullet. The coup that brought is the Nigeria's first bloodless coup.
I said into the Nigeria political scene, not into the presidency. He came into political prominence through his role in the 1966 counter coup...he wanted to wrestle the head of state position from gowon despite the fact that gowon was his senior in the army...thank you for watching ❤️😍❤️💙
@@HispleMedia Agreed that he came back into political scene through the July coup but that he want to wrestle power is also wrong. He was even reluctant in giving a nod to Joe's coup. Read The Hurricane.
@@Jarumi-sg9il if you read the roller-coaster life of murtala muhammed, you will find some of these details as well. However, I will check this suggestion. Thank you very much.
Yes the British never liked any Nigeria rulers that they believe will work against their interest.
That is probably why Nigeria has gotten used to selfish and underperforming leaders in all strata! I appreciate your feedback, thank you very much for watching.
Instead of dismissing soldiers he should have stopped recruitment
I think this is the right thing to have done. Thanks for watching!
A nation of astonishingly high level of curruption. And so this was how they set the scene for the most currupt country in Africa to day, known as Nigeria.
It's really unfortunate that corruption is not even ready to stop anytime soon
The system is designed to respect corrupt people and honor them. It favours them even during elections. We came close to renouncing the corrupt elites in the last election but they still overcame us and forced themselves on us. All hope is not lost yet.
Thank you very much for watching ♥️
Is there a possibility that one of those officers implicated bissala in order to eliminate him? Many questions begging for answers
no, Dimka in his confessions gave details of the coup and how well it was planned and everything checked out. Many people faced the panels but were released because of lack of evidence
@@tonyebiere551 Dimka also tried to implicate Obasanjo.
Just the way he masterminded the assassination of The General Aguiyi ironsi after 6 months In office, he got the fair share of karma by his own fellow northerner.. What goes around comes around especially in the case of killing a man like Ironsi who was faultless
🤔🤔🤔!!!
Obasanjo was Federal Commissioner for Works, not Agriculture. Thanks
Perfect observation
Thank you for this observation!! I appreciate your feedback and thanks for watching...
In another account, apart from his genocidal allegations in Asaba, he also had poor military tactical command technique which led to the killing of more than 10000 Nigerian military soldiers under his command during the civil war. This would not hv sat down well amongst his military officers.
That is true! In fact, it appears that the number of soldiers lose were even more than 10k. He tried to cross the Niger river against his superior's advise.
Thank you for watching
Mr Murderoustala Ramrod Muhammad's reputation merely, entirely hinged on vendata, coup plotting and execution and not on the warfront. The ragtag Biafran Army's greatest triumph in the oil war of genocide was against his troops at Abagana during which he escaped by the skin of his teeth, allegedly being rescued by a helicopter as almost the entirety of his fighters was wiped out. 'nuff said.
This is true. Were they even 10 thousand?? Murtala wasted over a hundred thousand soldiers during the civil war. It was so disappointing. He trained in England as a military officer but Just as u have said, he had a poor military and tactical background.
@@iyanuajayi8797y’all being hyperbolic with the numbers, how many men were assigned to him in the first place??😑
@@iyanuajayi8797 - Training and Education mans nothing if one cannot apply it wisely. Muritala Mohammed was just pure evil and irrational. The problem with leaders like him. Even when they make a mistake they are too proud to reverse what they can.
Murtala had so many innocent bloods in his hands despite his good economic policies. He was involved in some coup detat and war crimes (during the civil war). He wanted to be a Saint overnight.
He felt he was invincible due to his popularity in the army.
He predicted what will happen if he's ever killed, the consequences for Nigeria and tge coup plotters.
@@youssefcamara3916 muritala is the worst man!... if you know the things he did.. He plotted mass killing of igbos in 5 battalion . This was successful in 3 battalions.
@@usmanelebute.a5866 l grew up around igbos and Benin people in Conakry, Guinea. As much l feel your pain, there were lot tragedies in that awful and sad conflict. Whatever he did during that war, he's facing her makers now. The igbos leaders also have their own responsibility before history in that conflict. It really pain me to see African killing other African. C'est pas du tout normal, surtout en Afrique de l'ouest.
@@youssefcamara3916 I am not igbo. I specifically meant IGBO SOLDIERS in the military. They called it mutiny. This was when ironsi was in power. Ironsi was a leader that truly believed in Nigeria unity and muritala was one of the personels he trusted the most. They planned to access the Armory in each batallions distributed it to northern SOLDIERS then layed an ambush on Igbo soldiers. This was in the coup that eliminated IRONSI
@@usmanelebute.a5866 l went to queen’s university in Melbourne, Australia, with bunch of Nigerian. As the only francophone among them, they adopted me and we used to go to Canberra for Nigeria independence holiday party every October. Barbecue, fufu, jolof rice, name it. Even then and in far away Australia, you could see the scar’s of that civil war. I pray on my knees for the people of Nigeria to never ever again solve their problems with violent means.
No security was his greatest mistake.
Yes, Security was the greatest mistake on the day... However, there were other mistakes that sum up to that point as highlighted in the video. Thank you for for watching ❤️
@@HispleMedia There are plenty rulers now that have made thousands more than Murtala Muhammad but they cannot be assassinated. Why? Because they have heavy security as back up. We're talking of the mistakes that lead to his assassination which lack of security was the biggest of all.
He made an impact within a short period for his decisiveness in taking decisions.
Yeah, that is why he endeared himself to Nigerians...nigerian military was brutish and wicked to themselves and to this country. I appreciate your feedback, Thank you for watching
Buka Suka Dimka was Yakubu Gowon's brother-in-law, something that is often overlooked. I remember that morning, Friday February 13th, 1976. Parents who had dropped their kids off at schools, suddenly started showing up to collect their children. I remember one parent telling my class teacher that there had been a coup. My father showed up and bundled all of us into the car, and gave a James Bond-like driving display to get us home as swiftly as possible from Ebutte Metta to Igbobi. I also remember the day that Dimka was executed at Bar Beach. We were trying to get to the beach , so that my grandmother, who had never seen the Sean in her life, could have that experience; the traffic entering Victoria Island from the Marina, was impossible. I deduced the reason and told my Dad what I thought was happening (a nine-year-old me....), and that evening, it was confirmed. We could not watch the spectacle when it was broadcast later that night, because the big problem of low voltage was affecting NEPA horribly (at least, there was electricity) - this was the era of black-and-white TVs, and the picture used to roll terribly when voltage fluctuated. That evening, not even the V-Hold knob was any use in stabilising the picture.
Interesting narrative... I could hv been so afraid to even thought of watching such a horror scene. Thank you for letting us live through your experience. May God help Nigeria. Thanks for watching.
@@HispleMedia You may not be aware, but this was at a time when public executions were the norm. A few years earlier, there had been the execution of Dr. Oyenusi and his gang (I do not think that was televised, but I remember that the newspapers had the photographs of all the condemned criminals). Still in the 70's there was the execution of the gang that robbed a company called Bolous (if I remember correctly) of ₦50,000. That execution was also public. In the late 80s in Benin City, I remember the execution of Lawrence Anini and his gang, also being a public spectacle.
@@cielocaribe you are right! I remember there was public execution in my local government of some armed robbers too in the late 80s or early 90s or so... When told as a child that those people were condemned to death by lawyers, I grew up to hate the legal profession till when I was in the university. I appreciate your feedback. Thank you
This would 😅
No wonder they've destroyed Nigeria in early age they don't want to leave us alone because of their selfishness.
Many of them have been around since independence or specifically since the coup and Counter-coup of 1966. They see Nigeria as their private business. It's quite unfortunate. Thank you for watching ❤️. I appreciate your feedback.
You got the point
Murtala was good , rest in peace 😡👍🙏
❤️💙❤️🤔🤔🤔
so Nigeria was this beautiful? from the pictures am seeing, who then cursed this country.
Every administration seem to be worst than the previous one... Accumulated failure of leadership certainly contribute. Thank you for watching., ❤️💙❤️✅
One of the few incorrupt nationalists to have govern Nigeria
In the midst of all this, let's not forget that Murtala was a war criminal who among other things conducted the infamous Asaba Massacre. He's just one architect of the hideous northern hegemony.
Who can say This Nigeria in 7os? 24 Hours Electricity
Very sad
Didn't he killed before and also took part in coups. karma! not mistakes killed him
Nigerian's environment was nice then
A killerr is killedd.
Nemesis
Nnadi kanu and Nigeria
This is bullshit to me murtala Muhammad was part of the civil war he took many igbo lives whoever have pity for him is on there own I like him as head of state but I hate him for his engagement in the wat
Many people hled this view... That is why at the end of the video I said he exited the polity the same way he entered. Through bullet. Thanks so much for watching.
Muritala
Peter obi is our next murtala Muhammed
🤔❤️💙
Who cares
One of the few incorrupt nationalists to have govern Nigeria
Taar.
He was a war criminal that committed war crimes.
He masterminded the bloodiest coup in Africa to till date.
I have zero sympathy for his death.
Let him rot wherever he is.
He wants to claim saint overnight with his hopeless policies.
